  1. Setting Proficiency Targets • Annual Measurable Outcomes (AMOs) • Every school will get to 85% by 2022. • Targets differentiated to reflect each school’s starting point

  2. Key Elements • Proficiency targets (AMOs) • Improvement targets • Subgroup targets • Graduation/attendance rate • Educator evaluations • Compliance factors

  3. Safe Harbor • Balance between ambitious proficiency targets and attainable improvement goals. • Need to find a rate of improvement that has been demonstrated, but that is still rigorous

  4. Subgroups • Retain original nine demographic subgroups • Concern was voiced with dropping these, loss of focus on these groups • Add the bottom 30% subgroup • Affirms our laser focus on closing the achievement gap

  5. Guiding Principles • Produces green-yellow-red final color for every school • Easy-to-read display • Includes all five tested subjects • Adds more differentiation than pass/fail of AYP

  6. Concerns • Are the targets ambitious enough? • Are they attainable enough? • Is there a disincentive to cross 85% proficient?

  7. Are the AMOs ambitious enough? • New cut scores—standard for proficiency is much higher. • Almost no school in Michigan is above 85% on the new cut scores. • 85% is an interim goal; 100% is still the ultimate goal.

  8. Safe Harbor • Balance between ambitious proficiency targets and attainable improvement goals. • Need to find a rate of improvement that has been demonstrated, but that is still rigorous

  9. Accountability Scorecard • Green/red/yellow for each school • Clear labels for priority, focus, and reward. • Ability to click through and see more detailed information.

  10. Determining the Colors • Whole school and each subgroup receive green, red or yellow for each subject. • Red = did not meet proficiency OR improvement • Yellow = met improvement target, not proficiency • Green = met proficiency target

  11. Participation • Must assess 95% of students overall and in each subgroup • Failure to do so in a subgroup = red for that subgroup/subject • Two “reds” in the “all student” category for participation = red overall

  12. Guiding Principles • Produces green-yellow-red final color for every school • Easy-to-read display • Includes all five tested subjects • Adds more differentiation than pass/fail of AYP

  13. Final Overall Color • Each subgroup color in each subject awarded point value: • Green = 2 points; Yellow = 1 point; Red = 0 points • 80% or more = Green; 50-80% = Yellow; less than 50% = Red • Red for one or more subgroups, maximum overall rating = yellow

  14. Highlights • More differentiation; not simply pass/fail AYP. • Many schools will be yellow • Intuitive to users • Red = warning system to schools

  15. Other Academic Indicators • Graduation rate and improvement • Attendance • Participation • Educator evaluations • Reporting 100% of labels • Compliance with state law • School Improvement Plan, school performance indicators
